Abstract :
Within the past years radar technology has become more and more important for the civil market. There are many applications where radar is an interesting solution. The main advantage of radar is robustness against weather and light conditions. Distance is measured directly and by adding multi-channel capabilities it is possible to detect the angle of a target. The here presented radar module is a very compact and light weight module which is able to obtain a real-time 2D scan of the vicinity and can easily be integrated in a UAV system.
